I create photographs that live somewhere between documentary truth and cinematic imagination — quiet images that explore time, space, and the human trace.

I’m a photographer and videographer based in Warsaw, Poland. My work focuses on the dialogue between light and shadow, presence and absence, and the subtle ways people shape and inhabit space. Photography, for me, is a way of translating movement and stillness into visual memory — a reflection of how the world looks when seen slowly.

I work with both digital and analog cameras, often combining techniques from both worlds. The process — from capturing to developing — is entirely my own. I personally handle every step of post-production, whether it’s digital editing or darkroom printing on traditional film materials. That independence allows me to preserve the authenticity of each frame — its imperfections, textures, and quiet tone.

From 2006 to 2013 I worked as a photojournalist for Gazeta Wyborcza, with my photographs also appearing in Newsweek, Polityka, Wprost, and Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. Later, I worked independently and taught photography at the University of Rzeszów between 2016 and 2020.

My press work was recognized in national competitions such as BZWBK Press Photo (Special Awards in 2009 and 2010) and Grand Press Photo (Honorable Mentions between 2008 and 2011).

I studied at the Łódź Film School, where my early video works were shown at Józef Robakowski’s Exchange Gallery, and my photographs became part of the exhibition Photo Extensions – 15 Years of Photographic Studies at PWSFTviT.

My ongoing project, M Album – Warsaw, explores the underground world of the Warsaw Metro: its geometry, silence, and the traces left by those who pass through it every day. The series transforms ordinary transit into fine-art photography — a visual meditation on solitude, rhythm, and human presence beneath the city’s surface.

Beyond this project, I continue to develop work that connects observation with emotion — always searching for moments where light meets meaning.
